Hilton shares lose ground
Many travel and tourism shares saw another day of falls as London’s main equity indices enjoyed mixed fortunes.
While the FTSE 100 index dropped back 2.3 points to close at 4357.7, the FTSE 250 did slightly better and climbed 21.2 points to end the day at 6109.4.
One share that fell significantly was Hilton which, according to The Guardian, lost 4.5p to 256.5p after the broker Citigroup downgraded the stock from “buy” to “hold”.
The two main no-frills carriers bucked the trend, however, with EasyJet gaining 3.5p to 147p and its rival Ryanair adding 5.625p to end the day at 315.5p.
